INTRODUCTION:

This course is intended to prepare the target persons with the ability to understand and recognize different types, components, theory of operation and applications of All Electrical Motors and maintenance.

This course will explain operation, construction,& characteristics of various types of electric motors used in commercial and industrial applications. Study all types of DC, AC, Stepper, Servo, Linear, and Synchronous motors. Look at torque and other characteristics.

This course learn about motor control, maintenance, slip, braking, ramping, plugging, and reversing techniques. Participants should have basic AC/DC theory and some work experience with motors.

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the course participants will able:

Identify the different types of motors and their appropriate applications

Test for & troubleshoot motor problems

Properly select and replace a motor
